The car was delivered new on September 27, 1965 by Jaguar Cars in New York. Remaining in the United States for many years, it was then owned by a famous racing Jaguar collector, who imported it to England and entrusted the restoration and engine tuning to a specialist, Peter Lander, of Sigma Engineering in 2014 for about £10,000: - crankshaft grinding - engine block boring - ring replacement - cylinder head grinding - machining of the cylinder head and valve guides unleaded - rebuilding of the connecting rods - replacement of pistons, bearings - installation of a new water pump - restoration of the suspension and braking system - installation of a new exhaust with stainless steel line - installation of a complete clutch kit - disassembly and reassembly of the gearbox The goal was to make some adjustments to make it a reliable and easily usable car, trying to keep as many original parts as possible. The restoration is now 11 years old, its current owner, also British, has it carefully maintained by a vintage vehicle specialist. Recent expenses include: - camshaft grinding - replacement of the flywheel and clutch kit - replacement of the master cylinder / clutch slave - replacement of brake discs - installation of electronic ignition - installation of a high-performance starter The last inspection was in July 2025. As for the bodywork, the car is in beautiful presentation. It has been repainted in the past, the original color was black. The experience and the lift have allowed us to ascertain the absence of corrosion on the floors, cross members, sills, and chassis rails. The chrome is in excellent condition. The wire wheels are shiny. Finally, the upholstery was partially redone by a professional upholsterer in 2022: seats, door panels, console, carpet, and installation of a soundproofing kit. The result is of great quality and the beige leather contrasts wonderfully with the exterior green. The entire instrumentation is functional. A desirable car undoubtedly for its configuration but also for its quality of restoration and preservation. Impeccable bodywork, performing mechanics, elegant interior. A car that has had the fortune to fall into the hands of true Type E lovers who have taken care of it with attention. A proper appraisal was carried out in 2023.
